Is it anything to do with Orange Italy blocking some sites? Or, if you're connecting over WiFi, can you verify your WiFi is working correctly?

I have no problems with any of the sites I goto on both WiFi and 3G

Ok I changed some APN settings and it works fine
I wonder what was wrong....
But thanks!

LOGGING INTO SITES

I am unable to log into certain web forums from my XDA - I get the message, "request could not be understood status 400"
Does anyone know how I can solve this?
Thanks.
I don't think pocket IE supports some login methods.
That's a shame - how can I log into my sites then?
look for another browser then IE
LOGGING IN
I have managed to log in to one site today but none of the others - how comes I need a new browser?
maybe because IE sucks ?

Help setting up yahoo on TC

Just got my TC tonight and I cant put it down. I LOVE this device. Ive never had a WM phone before but have played with them without any desire to own one. Well I really like how much can be optimized and configured, and thats not even considering all the tweaks found here.
Anyway, my current issue is that I cant get my yahoo email to work. Now, it could be that Im coming from a Blackberry Curve so my phone package is the blackberry BIS. Would this inhibit me getting my email? If so, do I have to call up ATT tomorrow and get set up on the smartphone program instead?
The POP/IMAP email access requires a normal dataplan... After that the device can configure itself for the mail access (after you enter you email adrdess in the new account creation). But if you want better useability, and more security than you should configure it manually whith IMAP access... if Yahoo! supports it...

I like my BB Curve better. I guess I have way too many things against me as a Mac user also. Its a neat phone but not what I really want.
yahoo/gmail issues
I am having a weird problem. When connected over wifi, yahoo and google connect and download mail like you'd expect.
When connected to 3G or Gprs network google and yahoo fail to connect. The phone tries to make another connection, like it does not know there is already a data connection.
I know my data connection is good at 3G, because I surf the web all day...
Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks.
Figured it out...
Had to uncheck the "use proxy" setting on the connection profile under "proxy"

Let me make this more clear for you.... I recently downloaded the palringo app....that comes from palringo....I got a message from my server that says an ip address in the UK has been searching through my accounts. So I tracked them down, and it went straight to palringo. The application stole my account info
@nikko1000
Actually your explanation isn't very clear.

"searching through my accounts"? What does this mean? And what accounts: accounts of IMs that you have connected to your Palringo account?

- ok maybe you don't get this...
1. I downloaded palringo on my android phone
2. I got a message saying that i can't log in on the app
3. I went online, and i got a message from my email, saying that there is suspicious activity on several accounts, coming from 1 ip address
4. I looked up the IP address, it went straight to palringo
5. I posted this up, and complained multiple times, and looked up other people having the same problem.

So what happens when you try to log into palringo via there desktop app?
You said you were able to check your email - so does this mean your IM accounts that palringo uses are still working?
You didn't answer most of my questions, but nevermind...
Why is it so weird and suspicious to you, that there were connections from Palringo IP, if this is exactly what Palringo should do?

you're still not getting this - they showed that they logged in with their ip address, and changed information on mine, without permission, obviously meaning that they logged in, with the info that was given to them
they showed obvious proof that they were trying to change my password, so i had to recover it through my cellphone

Yeah, but this is how Palringo works - it connects to services from Palringo servers. So if e.g. someone guessed your Palringo password, then he got access to all your connected accounts and all connections were from Palringo IP.
I mean: that may not be a guy from Palringo, but anyone who got access to your Palringo account.
this is not a random person, my password is practically un-guessable.... its a 20 letter code.... example : XAO352Fs3934HOe93kdj..... and who would have access to my account? i don't share my password, or my cellphone

1. WHICH Account? Do you mean just your palringo account, or all the IM accounts you are using with it?
Here is my guess of what's happened.
You installed Palringo on your Android device, started up and everything looks normal.
Now ONE (or maybe more?) or your IM accounts is indicating there was some weird activity.
You went to whatever IM account and noticed a bunch of connections from the palringo servers. (This is OK and actually not a problem - as that's how the palringo service works)
Thus - your handheld is probably logging you out and logging you in again over and over - which causes your IM service to think there is a problem when there is not. Either your 3G is going off or your wifi is going off - prolly when you put your phone in standby.

that is probably what happened.... but how do you explain the fact that my password was changed on facebook, and gmail?

Good question. It *does* sound like you hacked somehow - but I seriously doubt that anyone at palringo had anything to do with it.
Either someone got your palringo username/password and then changed your passwords to gmail and facebook via that (if you even can) - or you were hacked some other way.
I would take a close look at your home computer (or any other machines you've used lately) and make sure you have no virus / trogans / mailware etc on those because odds are that's actually where the hack happened.
Have you had any luck recovering your facebook and gmail accounts? What a bummer I know how bad that sucks.
So, IP addresses usually point to ISP s... How did you track and identify this organization or individual?

[Q] Yahoo login failure

For the past month, I periodically get an error message - "Yahoo login failure"
This only happens on the T-Mobile network, not when I am on wi-fi.
Its not constant but happens often.
I'm running the stock Jelly Bean upgrade.
The error is in the stock Android email client version of Yahoo, not Yahoo's separate app.
Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on the cure?

Lot of people are reporting the same issue. Apparently Yahoo has disabled access via 3rd party mail apps to promote their own mail client. They deny connections coming from mobile internet ISPs.

Thanks for clarifying that G. Its been driving me nuts. There's no way I'm adding a new app to my system, just to perform the work of built in email apps.
Especially with all the hassles users are reporting. I use Yahoo email a lot, but can easily switch over to Gmail in a heartbeat. Maybe I'll set Gmail to check
my yahoo email. Has anyone done this? Is this a decent work around.
Yahoo, if you are reading this, you are going to lose not gain users. There are too many better options.
You are becoming like "brain freeze" Nobody wants you.

Well I seem to be able to use the built in mail client for Yahoo if I am on wifi. its only when I am using the T-Mobile network that I cannot log in to Yahoo.
Change the APN. It worked for me.

Help! Somebody spoofing my whatsapp / facebook

Hello,
Somebody has the ability to message my contacts on WhatsApp, despite me changing my phone (have tried both Android / iPhone). Not only are they controlling my WhatsApp, but they also have the ability to post stuff as me on Facebook too, which is quite scary (again on both iOS and Android).
Here's the really strange thing. They are now sending my contacts messages via WhatsApp appearing to be from my mum. My mum does not know what WhatsApp is, let alone use it - her phone doesn't even support internet (it's a Sony Ericsson T68i). How is this even possible?? I'm guessing they've found her contact on my phone (it's stored as 'mum').
I have no answers to any of this, I initially thought my Android phone had been hacked, but the problem is occurring on my iPhone too. My mum's phone has no internet, it doesn't even have a MAC address I believe, so they can't be spoofing via that method??
Help!

maybe some other app required permission to access your whatsapp or something like that and now using it.

Across two devices? I have had to verify whatsapp on each device with an SMS each time.
He sent my contact another message today stating that I will never catch him and that he is using the same IP as me. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Yup - changed every password. A simple search reveals it's quite easy to spoof a whatsapp account, which I believe he's doing. No idea how to stop it and how he managed to access my FB too.
FB sign in logs shows nothing suspicious, so he's doing it through my phone.
Have contacted WhatsApp support, not sure what else I can do.
Might change my mobile number, but that is so much hassle!

You should go to FB settings and in Apps/Programs (not english FB currently) and disable access to whatsapp.
